What is roasted chana in English?

Published in Food Terminology 1 min read

Roasted chana is commonly known as roasted chickpeas or roasted Bengal gram in English.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Chickpea: This is the widely accepted English name for the legume commonly known as "chana" in Hindi.
  • Bengal Gram: This is another, though slightly less common, term for chickpea.
  • Roasted: This simply indicates that the chickpeas have been roasted, giving them a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.

Therefore, using either "roasted chickpeas" or "roasted Bengal gram" accurately translates "roasted chana" into English. The more popular and easily understood term is roasted chickpeas.
